Wow! How did we get to fifty of these things? This Bite-Sized Horror series started out as a means of filling out the space between my short stories, but they’ve kind of taken over… I hope you guys are enjoying them as much as I am! Here’s to fifty more!
P.S. If you have any prompts or ideas for a Bite-Sized Horror post, please share your thoughts in the comments — I love the challenge!
Loving them. I do the daily 280 char #vss365 prompts on twitter and I thought those were tough. In many instances you are using fewer characters than that and delivering gold. It takes real skill to leave so few breadcrumbs and manipulate the reader’s own imagination to fill in the gaps. Nice one!
Thanks, Chris! I really appreciate it! It’s a really fun challenge, and I’m thoroughly enjoying writing them. I think of them a bit like a joke — a set up and a punch line!
